This is so true. The fashion for women's jackets right now is very short. But I wish they wouldn't follow fashion for sports clothing – it just doesn't make sense.
The only solution I've found is to buy men's jackets. Size down one, meaning a Women's Medium is roughly equivalent to a Men's small. The fit will be a little boxy, but it's worth it because having a jacket that goes down to your butt is so much warmer.
